About Meredith
Meredith Torpey is an ACA counsellor with 18 years' experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She works with adults who feel overwhelmed by trauma, grief, low self-esteem or career change. Meredith aims to make the first step easier and more practical for busy people.
Her style is down-to-earth and respectful. She listens closely and adapts each conversation to the person's needs. Sessions focus on practical strategies to reduce worry and rebuild confidence, but also make space to talk about painful experiences and loss.
Background and approach
Meredith draws on approaches such as client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas and mindfulness practices. She blends goal-focused techniques with listening and gentle guidance so clients leave with tools they can use between sessions. The aim is clearer thinking, calmer reactions and better day-to-day coping.
She has worked across trauma recovery, vocational rehabilitation and psychosocial disability, so she understands how health and work stresses can overlap. Meredith also supports people facing caregiver strain, chronic illness and workplace difficulties. She pays attention to each person's context and practical needs.
People who meet her describe therapy as a collaborative process. Meredith helps set realistic steps and tracks progress over time. Her approach is to support gradual change, help people reconnect with purpose and increase their sense of inner calm.
Approaches that translate well to online sessions
Client-centred therapy focuses on your needs and priorities. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows your lead, helping you feel heard and clearer about next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and builds practical skills to reduce worry and improve mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to calm the body and break cycles of rumination.Choosing the best approach is a shared process. The counsellor will discuss options with you, try techniques in-session, and adjust what is used based on your goals and what feels useful. That collaborative approach helps find methods that fit your life and preferences.
Online formats offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or when being on camera is tiring. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or for people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caring responsibilities and daily routines.
